A vigil is about to start to honor Lesly Palacio.

The 22-year-old was found dead yesterday after she went missing on August 29th.

Police are still searching for the man suspected of killing her. @8NewsNow #8NN

Lesly’s family just put some of her things out on this table, including scrubs, a stethoscope and a book.

They say she was going to school before she died. @8NewsNow #8NN

The group has brought flowers, balloons and candles. @8NewsNow #8NN

Lesly’s family is now standing in front, as they’ve hung a photo of her above the candles and flowers laid out in her honor. @8NewsNow #8NN

It’s absolutely heart wrenching to see Lesly’s mother tonight.

When we spoke with her yesterday, she said she simply wants justice for her daughter. @8NewsNow

The group released balloons in honor of Lesly. Again, they are demanding justice. @8NewsNow #8NN

People are lined up outside to pay their respects to Lesly. Clearly, she had a lot of people who loved her. @8NewsNow #8NN

Family and friends have taken the candles they used for tonight’s vigil to spell “Lesly” on the sidewalk outside their home. @8NewsNow #8NN
